Score 88/100 · Drink 2016-2022, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2016

Barale's 2012 Barolo Castellero shows the racier side of the vintage. Super-ripe black cherry, plum, licorice, tobacco and dark spice are all fused together. This is an especially round, succulent style. Today, the new oak is a bit pronounced, but otherwise this is a solid effort.
